Created in the early twentieth century by social reformer Dame Henrietta Barnett, Hampstead Garden Suburb stands as a model of urban planning and architectural harmony. Conceived as a place where families could live surrounded by greenery, the suburb was designed by Sir Raymond Unwin and Barry Parker in the Arts and Crafts style, with winding roads, leafy verges and communal gardens.
The result is one of London’s most beautiful residential areas, characterised by distinctive red-brick homes, timber detailing and carefully preserved open spaces. The suburb’s centrepiece, Central Square, features twin churches designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and remains a focal point for the community. Strict conservation controls have kept the area remarkably unchanged, ensuring its architectural integrity and quiet charm endure.
